For the record, I took the dps trinket (just finished the quest), but I still recon that this trinket is much better for pvp.

Five minute cooldown.

I was able to replace the Bladefist's Breadth trinket with this one after contacting a GM. I recommend doing this if you regret taking the other one.

Has this trinket's healing effect been nerfed like the Lifegiving Gem? There is no mention of it in 2.1.0 patch notes...

Comment by Aldor

This item isn't being nerfed like the LGG. This item isn't even being nerfed period - it just raises your health, and doesn't have a heal built in that could be removed from it.

The LGG used to heal you for 1500 and raise your health by 1500. You would keep the 1500 heal even after you lost the bonus hit points. The 1500 heal was removed from the LGG, making it alot like this one.

Clearing some things up:

This trinket is like a short term heal. For example, if you are getting attacked, and you have 100 health left, and you pop this, you have 1000 health for 15 seconds.

If you take no damage, in 15 seconds you will have 100 health again. If you take damage, and get down to, say 300 health, when the effect wears off you will have 1 health.

I've actually used it several times while soloing as a fury warrior. When I'm about to die, I pop it, and usually it's enough that I live, kill the mob, and can eat afterwards.

It isn't a heal though- it adds 900 hp to your available and maximum hp, and when the effect wears off, both of those are removed. If you have less than 900 hp when the effect wears off, you will have 1 hp.

Considering the trinket choices available from 60-70, I went with this one. It has nice +defense on it for when I'm getting tanking gear together later on. I plan on getting the +hit trinket considering the effects don't stack anymore (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31617) and probably the hourglass of the unraveller for dps, so the Bladefist's Breadth isn't really important in the long run. On my last toon I ran into several trinkets very similar to Bladefist's Breadth, but not really any like this one.

I picked the dps trinket over this one, and I've been regretting it ever since. Had I known then that I'd have about 500 dps trinkets to choose from, and so few tanking trinkets, I'd have grabbed this in a heartbeat.

I wonder if I could still get this swapped... It's been three or so months now since I did the quest.

Bottom line - if you're going to be tanking, get this trinket. You'll find plenty of dps trinkets in short order.

As a Prot Pally this thing is pro. At lvl 60 the passive effect adds 0.68% to each chance of block, dodge, and parry. The Use effect works very well in combination with the Argent Defender talent.

Comment by InfernoMan

One thing people are overlooking about this trinket is the benefit to a feral druid, specced for Improv Leader of the Pack (100% chance to heal for 4% "total" health). Popping this gives your crits a boost to the heals it provides. while the effect cannot occur more than once per 6 seconds, and the trinket only lasts for 15 sec, the boost to the heals will probably only occur once or twice, but in a tight situation, that extra healing could possibly save you (and the group)

Useable while shapeshifted.

Comment by nightelfsb

Wonder if you want this trinket over the bladefist as an paladin or warrior ?

This trinket is a life saver if you miss pulled while lvling. See it as a free health pot kinda + when you ding 70 you can use it as starter tank gear. Thats my best 2 reasons :) Im sure this trinket will save me alot of times while lvling.

Very worth taking this over bladefist if you plan on tanking at 70 etc.

Comment by TheMuffinMan

While it's not bad in ANY sense of the word, it's a bit silly to pass up the spell damage (for pallys/future Balance Druids) or AP (Pallys, warriors, ferals) for this for quite a while.

Still, if you plan to tank from 61-70, then grab this.

Comment by Kurtosis

Can someone explain to a noob DK tank how this works? I just took this trinket, but still not sure on the useage. Is it for mitigating damage spikes?

For example, say you have 10,000hp, and are down to 5,000hp. You get hit with a 2500 dmg spike, to 2500hp. You pop the trinket. Does it raise your max hp to 10,900 and increase your current hp from 2500 to 3400? Or something else?

It bears mentioning that for all plate-wearing tanks that are leveling from 68-80 and did not participate in BC endgame enough to get upgrades for this trinket - it is well worth hanging onto! This and Dabiri's Enigma from Dimensius the All-Devouring remain viable all the way up to 78, when you can get your first major trinket upgrade with Defense on it. Tanking trinkets are extremely rare from this level range and the ones you take from BC will likely help you a lot as you constantly upgrade your gear to keep up with being crit-immune.

Comment by Lilly

Has anyone noticed if this is bugged?

I was on my Death Knight today, and noticed that it's only giving me 10 Defense Rating... Not the 26 that it claims.

She's only a 72, I wouldn't think that Blizz would screw with something like this, but, I've been wrong before...

It makes me sad though, as that's a huge drop in her Defense Rating, while I'm attempting to level her as a Tank...

This thing has saved my life COUNTLESS times... I always pick this.

On my Protection Paladin I have combined this trinket together with Divine Protection and Lay on Hands (on self) into an "oh sh..." macro.#showtooltip Lay on Hands/use 13/cast Divine Protection/cast Lay on Hands
